Half Orcs Half Orcs tend to occur in two ways. 1. A woman thinks that seducing an orc who is about to kill her will save her life (they almost always die in child birth). or 2. A human gets really drunk, really suicidal or feels like bragging (in some barbarian clans this is a sign of manhood), or some mix of the three and beds an orcess. The resulting lifeform is green or gray skinned, has a small nose with slited nostrils, black hair and small tusk-like canine teeth. They are the size of large humans usually and almost as strong as their green-skinned cousins. Whether it is their blood, or the fact that there is rarely a maternal human mother who both survived and cares enough about the child, half orcs tend to be very short tempers and are quite violent. They exhibit more self control and more cunning than than their green-skinned cousins but their brains are still very often incapable of being scholarly. As far as where they live goes, they are either hired as mercenaries in the sleazier of human cities, or if they can prove their strength are allowed to join with the Orc warbands. Occasionally a human noble will find himself in need of extra strength and find the courage to hire an orc as an honor guard but this usually will not work. Eventually they get too comfortable with the half orc and makes a joke the greenskin doesn’t find humorous.
